About this trial

The trial is an open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients with T2D on insulin therapy will be randomized to an intelligent telemonitoring group (intervention), a telemonitoring group (control), and a usual care group (control). Both the intelligent telemonitoring group and the telemonitoring group will use various devices at home. Hospital staff will monitor their data for three months. In the intelligent telemonitoring group, hospital staff and participants will be supported by decision-support algorithms in the management of insulin treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults ≥ 18 years.

Have internet at home, have MitID, and willingness to use a smartphone and the other devices used in the trial

Disqualifiers

Pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Major surgery is planned during the trial period.

Cancer diagnosis within five years prior to inclusion.

Participation in other interventional trials.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

CGM time in range

Change in CGM time in range (3,9-10,0 mmol/L)

Time frame
At baseline to three months after randomization

Secondary outcomes

1

Concentration of HbA1c

Change in HbA1c

Time frame
At baseline to three months after randomization
2

CGM time in level 1 hypoglycemia (3.0-3.8 mmol/L)

Change in CGM time in level 1 hypoglycemia (3.0-3.8 mmol/L)

Time frame
At baseline to three months after randomization
3

CGM time in level 2 hypoglycemia (<3.0 mmol/L)

Change in CGM time in level 2 hypoglycemia (\<3.0 mmol/L)

Time frame
At baseline to three months after randomization
4

CGM time in level 1 hyperglycemia (10.1-13.9 mmol/L)

Change in CGM time above range (10.1-13.9 mmol/L)

Time frame
At baseline to three months after randomization

Other outcomes

1

Self-reported adherence

Self-reported adherence insights from contacts between hospital staff and patients during the trial in the telemonitoring groups. Topics of conversation related to self-reported adherence will be collected based on predefined themes (e.g., missing basal dose due to forgetfulness, varying basal insulin dose during a week due to error on smartpen).

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 6 months
2

Insulin doses

Any differences in the use of insulin in terms of dosing between the three groups are examined based on data from the insulin pens, e.g., differences in the amount of insulin taken per patient (measured by units per insulin type), and differences in change in insulin dose during the trial period (measured by units).

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 6 months
3

Insulin dosing time

Any differences in the use of insulin in terms of timing of the dosing between the three groups are examined based on data from the insulin pens, e.g., differences in injection patterns.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 6 months
4

Number of CGM days worn

Number of days that the subjects wear the CGM

Time frame
During the intervention and active comparator
